AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist.
In the late 1980s, he cuts his teeth on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the streets, on walls and on trains.
Known for his characters and aerosol signatures, he founded the TBS (The Brutal Style) collective with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists.
We know little about him because the artist stays true to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the person.
Nonexistent on social media, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a true mystery except for a few gallerists in the know.
He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol or even Bacon; he borrows from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary, through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
- Mixed techniques: aerosol, pastel, and acrylic on canvas
